Since the end of the Second World War, the United States has led the western world to an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity (by my math, over 80 years now).

Having Venezuela in responsible hands again is also a very good thing. I'm also very pleased to hear that Greenland is solidly in our camp again as well. We have endured the terror regime in Tehran since the fall of the Shah and it has cost us dearly, in both lives and treasure. They were clearly intending to do us (& others) significant harm and it was only a matter of time before they finally accomplished that.

I can't begin to imagine what the complications will be from unleashing "Epic Fury" the way we have, but I don't see any other way that President Trump could have done it. I know that there is alot that I/we can't and won't know about the politics and peripheral activities that will continue to occur but President Trump has earned my respect and my confidence at this point (and I'm looking forward to see how he handles Cuba next).


You don't need to have any reservations Lloyd. This is your thread, say what you want, and if someone's offended,pfffft.

And no doubt our self-appointed Forum monitor will be along shortly, proclaiming we need more of this or less of that. Blaaah.

And I forgot to mention, your posts are always appreciated, and this was a good one, thanks.
